On January 2, 2018, I submitted a report detailing the defects for an emissions control system to the u. S. Attorney's office for the eastern district of michigan. That report also detailed safety defects. That was for vehicles manufactured by what is now fiat Chrysler automobiles. Circumstances related to the system allegedly being put into production were also explained to the aforementioned office. Have they contacted your office? please let me know. I have not heard from them and thus do not know if any actions have been taken. I am the engineer who did the analysis on the emissions control system and prepared the report.

My engine failed like most people with a 2002 engine that I have spoken with. This was a bad year for these engines so I can not understand why they were not recalled. Every mechanic knows these engines would fail for no reason.

The contact owns a 2002 Jeep Liberty. While driving at any speed, the speedometer malfunctioned and failed to display the actual speed of the vehicle. The vehicle lost power and stalled. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the wiring for the sensor that was connected to the transmission became fractured when the emergency brake was applied. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 156,000.

The contact owns a 2002 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle accelerated independently without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the technician informed that the vehicle was operating as designed but the failure recurred. The contact also mentioned that another vehicle crashed into the rear of the vehicle. As a result the contact crashed into another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy.

Driving through a school zone one morning and the car suddenly lost power steering and shut off, would not start again. Towed it back to house and read check engine code about crankshaft position sensor. It melted in place because of where it is in relation to the exhaust, took 4-5 months to fully dig out the melted sensor and replace. Had to put a heat shield over it myself and has since lasted 2+ years without trouble. Very poor design and a hassle to fix.

Car overheated, check engine light came on and steam poured out from under the hood on the highway. Mechanic used a scan tool and determined that there was a cylinder 2 misfire. Cooant was found in the cylinder and maybe the head gasket needed to be replaced. When the head was removed the gasket was ok but it was determined that the engine (long block) needed to be replaced. I have found other owners online who have had this same issue with the 2002 and 2003 Jeep Libertys. I am over the 7 year 70,000 mile powertrain warranty. Car was always maintained and regular oil changes were performed. No off-roading or towing done with this vehicle.

On 11/29, my transmission on my 2002 Jeep Liberty was not shifting after second gear. Took the car to the dealership and was told that there was a "bad part" on the tranmission, that the piston retainer inside of the valve body was broken and it needed to be replaced. The car was purchased new in 2001 and mileage was past the 36,000 bumper to bumper warranty; however, any Jeep vehicle purchased after 11/1/01 has the 7 year, 70,000 mile powertrain warranty. The part is bad and others might be experiencing the same thing. I ended up paying half when I should not have had to pay anything. Very disappointed in a vehicle that initially I loved!.

My 2002 Jeep Liberty has had a vibration since 1400 miles. It now has 29,000 miles and the same vibration. I have contacted the manufacturer about this twice and been back to the dealer numerous times to have it checked. The original complaint that I contacted daimler Chrysler with they gave me a complaint number, and told me that there techs were aware of this problem, and they were working on it. I then contacted them again this year and asked if they had resolved it, and they act as if there is only my complaint, and no resolution.
